The El Paso Diary is written by José Pertierra--an attorney who represents the government of Venezuela in its request for the extradition of Luis Posada Carriles. Pertierra´s journals describe the testimony, evidence, legal skirmishes, quirks and follies of this very historic trial that features for the first time the close collaboration of the United States government with Cuban authorities to prosecute an ex CIA agent who is one of the masterminds of the fifty-year old dirty war against Cuba.

A Mambí with his foot always “in the stirrup”
When on July 26, 1953 Raul Castro snatched the pistol wielded by a Batista police chief attempting to take him prisoner in the Santiago de Cuba Court and pointed the gun at his would-be captors, in less than a second he radically changed the course of the history he was living, saving not only his life and those of his comrades, but also a piece of the Revolution that had begun to take shape that very day.

For the first time ever, Cuban baseball out of Olympic competition
Cuba, once again, was defeated by Canada. The national team had a chance against the northerners, just as was the case against Venezuela, but came up short in attention to the details, that count big-time in baseball.

Science and public policy to address instances of inequity based on skin color
Nicolás Guillén Foundation and the Union of Cuban Writers and Artists’ José Antonio Aponte Commission propose concrete actions to end the persistence of discriminatory attitudes within our society. A conception of a comprehensive affirmative approach to overcoming disparities in equity based on skin color should contribute substantively to the formulation of public policies that will play a role in the National Program against Racism and Racial Discrimination.
